Marijuana for Beginners: Marijuana Side Effects | Discover Marijuana
Written by thcscout on . Posted in Beginners. No Comments on Marijuana for Beginners: Marijuana Side Effects | Discover Marijuana
When we are talking about medical marijuana, we are using microdoses (Watch our video on microdosing here: https://youtu.be/z8a4TWW_Vrs). When using microdoses, there still may be some effects that are different than expected. Those effects are ones that you will get used to, or build a tolerance to, over time. Some of the effects are caused by taking too much too fast for your condition. This is why talking with your QMP and Pharmacist is important.
If you want to schedule a time to meet with a QMP to get your medical marijuana card in Utah please visit us at: utahmarijuana.org.
We know that medical cannabis is new to most of us and that many of us have questions. Even though CBD has been widely accepted across the country, many are still left wondering about it. Discover Marijuana is all about getting you the information you need to dispel the myths and allow you to know the options you have when looking into plant-based medicine.
Tim Pickett, a Utah QMP and founder of http://utahmarijuana.org, meets with patients daily to recommend medical cannabis. Having a certain CBD dosage on hand as you ease into this treatment is highly recommended, especially if you are unfamiliar or made uncomfortable by the euphoric head high that comes with cannabis. CBD will help to tap that feeling down a bit.
Your other host, Blake Smith, CSO of http://zionmedicinal.com, a Utah CBD and cannabis company, has studied cannabis and the endocannabinoid system for years, and it shows. While Tim takes over how to use CBD, THC, and loads of other cannabinoids to help different ailments, Blake will explain WHY CBD works for Parkinson’s, pain, seizures, etc. for a full spectrum view of your treatment. We believe this will help patients take control of their own healthcare — something that hasn’t been possible in many other areas.

What Is Marijuana? Facts and Side Effects On The Brain ft. Joe Rogan
Written by thcscout on . Posted in Facts. No Comments on What Is Marijuana? Facts and Side Effects On The Brain ft. Joe Rogan
Marijuana is effective in relieving nausea and vomiting. Studies have shown that pharmaceutical cannabis can decrease nausea caused by chemotherapy used to treat cancer and almost completely eliminate vomiting.
Marijuana can relieve the spasticity of the muscles that is sometimes associated with multiple sclerosis and paralysis.
Marijuana can help treat appetite loss associated with conditions such as HIV/AIDS and certain types of cancers.
Marijuana can relieve certain types of chronic pain, including neuropathic pain.
Marijuana is safer than some other medications prescribed to treat the same symptoms. For example, it may be used instead of opioids for pain management. Opioids are highly addictive and are typically not recommended for long-term use in treating chronic pain.
Studies show that smoking marijuana alone (without the concurrent use of tobacco) does not increase the risk of lung diseases.
Cannabis does not need to be smoked to be medically beneficial. Products such as cannabidiol (CBD) oils, topical pain relief treatments, edibles, and other non-smoking applications are now available.
As research continues, more of the individual compounds in cannabis are being found to be beneficial. When isolated—such as CBD has been—these may lead to further advancements in medical treatment options without the “high” produced by the compound commonly known as THC. Marijuana has been used for centuries as a natural medicinal agent to good effect.
The Cons
For every person who advocates for the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes, there is another who argues against it. Some of the arguments from the opposition include:
Frequent marijuana use can seriously affect your short-term memory.
Frequent use can impair your cognitive ability.
Smoking anything, whether it’s tobacco or marijuana, can seriously damage your lung tissue.
Smoked marijuana contains cancer-causing compounds.
Marijuana carries a risk of abuse and addiction.
Marijuana has been implicated in a high percentage of automobile crashes and workplace accidents.
Marijuana is illegal under federal law. It is classified as Schedule I drug in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), alongside heroin. This classification says that the substances have no currently accepted medicinal value.
Joe Rogan is no stranger to voicing his opinions about marijuana legalization. And while Rogan normally talks favorably about cannabis, he had some harsh words for corporate monopolies in the marijuana industry on his recent podcast.
Rogan made headlines earlier this year when Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk appeared on his podcast and smoked weed alongside the host. The incident got Musk in trouble with investors and the federal government.
“So weed is gonna be legal, but only a couple of companies can grow it and monopolize,” Rogan said. “That is such a corruption, that’s like saying: you can have tomatoes, but we are the only ones that can grow these f*cking tomatoes. Like why? It’s a f*cking tomato! That’s a law against nature.”
Cannabis, also known as marijuana among other names, is a psychoactive drug from the Cannabis plant used for medical or recreational purposes. The main psychoactive part of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol, one of 483 known compounds in the plant, including at least 65 other cannabinoids.

Study Reveals The TRUE Damage Of Marijuana Use
Written by thcscout on . Posted in Facts. No Comments on Study Reveals The TRUE Damage Of Marijuana Use
Does this study make you less likely to smoke weed? Let us know in the comments below.
Read more here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/01/what-happens-when-you-get-stoned-every-single-day-for-five-years/
“New research published today in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine confirms what many of us have suspected for some time: If you smoke a lot of weed — like a lot of it — it can potentially do permanent damage to your short-term memory.
Professor Reto Auer of the University of Lausanne led a team of researchers who examined data on the marijuana habits of nearly 3,400 Americans over a 25-year period. At the end of the study period, the subjects took a battery of tests designed to assess cognitive abilities — memory, focus, ability to make quick decisions, etc.
The study found that people who smoked marijuana on a daily basis for a long period of time — five years or more — had poorer verbal memory in middle age than people who didn’t smoke, or who smoked less. This association remained even after researchers controlled for a variety of other factors known to affect cognitive performance, including age, education, use of other substances and depression.”
